Using IR Lasers Instead of Fiber

Artifice_Eternity writes: "Can't deal with the trouble, time or expense of digging up the street to get fiberoptic cable to your building in the big city? There's another way...infrared line-of-sight infrared lasers between your building and another one nearby. Repeaters and redundancy can keep the chain going reliably for miles, with gigabit data transmission rates."

    Hmm ... since you saw it a month ago, and you also visit Slashdot, you are actually the reason that Slashdot hasn't posted this article until now, as it's YOUR job to send in news. So please do us all a favor and shut the fuck up!

    I have read about this so let me spread my knowledge.

    On days which weather interferes with the communication, computers, perferably Linux because Windows (like we all know crashes too much) automatically adjust the siganal strength. Easy huh? Now snow would deteriorate bandwidth, but it depends on the ammount of snow. I am sure there would be more than one IR laser for backup redundant services. On days that there is a storm that affects the instument housing, service men being called to fix it might be a possibility. the service rate of these IR laser I am sure would be much higher than...oh fuck. I can't continue. You all are fucking fags. I hate you all you crap eating ass reaming fags. I hope you all are tacosnotted by The Taco. Eat my ass with a spoon. So servicing of IR lasers would be higher than that of Fiber.
